How do CMEs affect the Earth?

Best Answer

Coronal Mass Ejections usually cause magnetic storms, usually near the Earth's northern and southern poles. If you've ever heard of the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), this is what I'm referring to.

Some more severe effects on the earth (in the case that the CME is aimed somewhat directly at earth), are disruptions and failures in our telecommunication networks and power grids. (Satellites are a big concern) This includes the internet, cellphones, television, radar, and satellite reconnaissance.

All of this can be harmed or even destroyed by such an event.
